Eight standout novelties from this year’s drops, spanning storied Swiss houses, fashion maisons and the classics reborn, all landing in boutiques across Singapore.
Eight standout novelties from this year’s drops, spanning storied Swiss houses, fashion maisons and the classics reborn, all landing in boutiques across Singapore
Here is a number worth sitting with: across the roughly 60 to 65 maisons exhibiting at Watches & Wonders Geneva alone, somewhere between 500 and 800 new references get unveiled in a single week every April. Add in the brands that skip the fair entirely (Rolex, Richard Mille, Chanel), the ones that drop novelties year-round, and the sheer breadth of categories on offer, from steel sports watches to eight-figure minute repeaters, and you see the problem. Nobody, not even the most caffeinated watch editor, can meaningfully cover a year in horology in one sitting.
So consider this the first of many chapters.
We are picking out the pieces that made us stop scrolling, the ones with a genuine story behind the reference number, and making sure every single one is something you can actually walk into a boutique here in Singapore and see for yourself, whether that’s on Orchard Road, at Marina Bay Sands, or at ION.
